Propellerhead has updated Take Creative Vocal Recorder for iOS, adding new features, a tutorial and other fixes.
Here’s what’s new in version 1.1:
Key New Features:
- Song navigator replaces the scrub bar. It gives you an overview of the recorded spaces. Drag to scrub, or tap directly to jump to a point in time.
- Redo mode now restores to the last audio change undone.
- Tutorial walks you through how to use Take. Re-enable viewing it from Take’s settings.
- Clearer UI for indicating the beginning and end of recordable space.
Fixes & Improvements:
- Improved audio recording latency correction on all devices.
- Faster rendering feedback when recording.
- Preview backing tracks without running all the way to the end of the recordable space—when no audio has been recorded.
- System view page scrolls to the selected back track on open.
- Sleep timer is disabled by default to prevent the device from locking while recording (can be disabled in Take’s settings).
- Proximity sensor is disabled to prevent the screen from darkening while in use.
- Device supports upside-down orientation. Adjust your device’s mic/cables as you like for the best recording position for you.
- Open shared songs directly opened in Safari from the share page after upload.
- When sharing in mail, Facebook, and Twitter, the text is automatically pre-filled with the song name and a message inviting friends to listen to the song.
- Song shares are cropped better to prevent leading and trailing silence.
- Lots of bug fixes and stability improvements.
Take Creative Vocal Controller is a free download from the App Store.

Take this app and shove it
Not to feed the troll, but I kind of agree. No Dropbox or iTunes file exchange, and you can only move files with social media & email? Yea. Shove it.
Y’all should just ask for your money back if you hate it so much. Oh, wait…..
Hey, it was just a silly David Allan Coe reference. But why do users have to upload their recordings to Propellerheads’ servers? “Free”, yeah right.
You don’t have to upload your files to Propellerhead’s servers, that’s only when using the sharing services.
Take might be a Fantastic app but if it’s true that the resulting output goes anywhere other than the users own device that’s a Full Stop Dealbreaker.
Your files aren’t uploaded unless you share them, your saved files are not uploaded anywhere automatically.
A workaround could be to hook up the iPhone to the computer and transfer into a DAW the tracks in real time. It’s a hassle but you don’t have to upload anything anywhere and you can just delete the tracks from your phone afterwards.
